Winter Skincare: The Final Chapter

I know I've thrown a lot of products at you guys this week, but when you're overhauling your skincare, that happens!

Today I bring to you no lotions or treatments but instead a simple drugstore body wash that has done wonders for my skin.

Olay Age Defying Body Wash $6

Please excuse the beat up label as it's been tossed around just a bit.

I picked this up because it had a sticker on the front that said "Contains More Than A Jar Of Olay Moisturizers". For the last 2 years I've been using my St. Ives Mineral Therapy Body Wash and didn't really have a problem with it. But then this year came around and I knew I needed to up the anti with the moisturizing so I gave this a shot. 

It's fairly thick for a body wash, which I figured was a good sign. It felt more like lotion than a wash, another good sign. When I used it the first day I was ever so slightly overwhelmed with the fragrance. I was just not expecting it. For some with sensitive noses, I imagine this would be too much. The scent reminds of me back in the day Olay. It's a very floral perfumey smell which I've come to really like. I didn't hate it ever, just was surprised how strong it was at first.

But the scent issue was knocked right out the window when I got out of the shower and dried off. My skin felt soft. No dry patches, no tightening. I went about my routine and did my face care first. Usually, around this time of year, by the time I get to the body lotion, my shins are already dried out and I can see dry areas forming. Not with this! It was a body wash miracle!! 

I've been using this for about 2 months and it's been totally wonderful. It has really helped make my skin nice and soft and I don't think I will be able to go without this...ever! And with these big bottles for only $6, I don't think I'll have to. 

I don't see how I ever missed this product on the shelves before, I must have tried it at some point in the past. Regardless, we've found our way to each other now and Olay Age Defying Body Wash and I shall run off into the sunset together. Forever. 

But just as friends.
